  The police station is #7237-2, not sure about the fire station.
  
  There was a thread about these display cabinets somewhere. Have to dig deep to find it through.

  Looks like the first release of City sets, so 2005.

  Determine if the pieces are glued as many displays are. That might be a determining factor in your purchase.

  Yeah, that is one of the first city sets I bought when I got back into LEGO. I think it was mid-2000s, so I would assume the fire and crane are from the same era. My guess is that the nondescript grey building was just to help flesh out the scene.

  I have a Smaller Exo-Force display that I believe has a sticker with year and which store it came from on the bottom or back .

  Nice find I want to get an official cabinet for some of my some of my sets. How much is the asking price? Just to get a somewhat price of them for when I get into it.

  ^ These aren't cabinets for displaying your own models, they are sent out to shops to promote specific sets/themes and come prefilled with glued models. You could probably open them to remove the original models if you really wanted to, but it would decrease the value drastically.

  Quite - you'd be better off buying a fish tank....
